FIRST RESPONDERS
There is an urgent need for volunteers to join the Ballycanew Community First Responders. This is a very wordy cause. BCFR is a recently formed group where volunteers will be trained in using a defibrillator and will attend people reporting cardiac arrest, stroke, choking or chest pain while an ambulance is being dispatched.
In order for BCFR to progress we need more volunteers. It will work around your own commitments. If you would like more information please contact John at 087 0541408 or Karen at 087 9052238.
